Firefly, I want to be a Sanyo Hermit

That is not the arc of 'thinking', but of 'unhappiness'.

B.86 Bella's all-out strategy

"How is it, Your Majesty?" Bella asked with concern. After all, this was a major event concerning the future of Your Majesty the Queen and Lady Kiana, and there could be absolutely no room for carelessness.

"..." Xilin did not directly answer Bella's question because she was not sure about her feelings at the moment.

"If you, your Majesty, feel a little uncomfortable in your heart, it proves that your feelings for Lady Kiana are more than just 'wanting to become family'." Bella guided Xilin.

"Hmm..." Xilin pursed her lips and nodded. She did feel a little uncomfortable.

There is a feeling that something that belongs to me has been stolen.

But...if something she really valued was stolen, she would definitely be very angry.

But the feeling in my heart at this moment is not quite the same as "anger", it is a tangled sour feeling.

"So, Your Majesty, do you understand?" Bella said softly.

After so many years, Bella is also very clear about Xilin's character, and she must not be anxious to persuade Xilin.

Once you get anxious, Xilin will definitely get even more angry, and the result will be a breakdown in the negotiations.

Furthermore, Xilin is particularly good at evading things, so we cannot put things directly in front of her. We must use a roundabout way to guide her to understand the situation herself.

Only Bella is Xilin's follower. If it were any other assistant, they would have quit long ago when faced with such a troublesome and awkward guy like Xilin.

"Yeah." Facing Bella, whom she could trust absolutely, Xilin rarely hid anything from Bella.

So she nodded honestly, and she was indeed feeling uncomfortable...

"Your Majesty, please do not think that it is shameful that you like Lady Kiana." Bella held Silin's hand. This was a gesture that Bella had learned to make the other person feel her sincerity.

Although Bella believed that even if she didn't do this, Xilin would be able to understand her feelings.

"You should know that there are many people who like Lady Kiana." Bella decided to awaken Sirin's sense of crisis. "Although there are also many people who like the Queen."

Although Xilin is an ultimate stay-at-home girl who stays at home all day, she is very popular.

In addition to the several special effects dramas she has starred in, which have received wide acclaim, Sirin is also very popular among the Valkyries.

After all, how could outsiders know what kind of personality Xilin has in private?

People who are familiar with her know that Xilin is a socially anxious otaku, but people who don't know her think that Xilin is a "hidden master".

Moreover, Xilin is very cute, so this sense of variance of "cute hidden master" makes Xilin very popular among the Valkyries.

"Unfortunately, it is impossible to awaken Lady Kiana's sense of crisis." Bella knew very well what kind of person Kiana was.

She comes from "another world", so Kiana will build connections with people in "this world" and form ties with each other.

But she will not take the initiative to develop romantic connections with people from "this world".

"So...only if you, the Queen, take the initiative can you take down Lady Kiana!" Bella shouted in her heart.

If it is because Xilin likes Kiana that she is so conflicted.

Then Bella's feelings for Kiana are even more special.

As a follower of the Herrscher of the Sky, Bella could clearly feel Kiana's soul, which was the 'queen' she had to protect, so she didn't want her other queen to leave.

So she hopes to bind Kiana with love, which can be regarded as Bella's insignificant selfish desire.

"Your Majesty, if you don't want Lady Kiana to be snatched away by someone else, then you really have to work harder." Bella said helplessly.

Bella was helpless! She had been working hard for Xilin and Qiana's relationship for almost ten years! She had been working hard since Xilin turned eighteen!

But Xilin couldn't help...

At this point, Bella actually has no way to persuade Sirin. She can only hope that Lady Kiana can be as hard as a rock and delay the temptation of those bad women outside until one day Lady Sirin wakes up.

"My Queen!" Bella's cold expression was accompanied by the roar of a violent dragon. "Why don't you have any sense of danger?!"

Actually, Xilin is not without a sense of crisis... She is just used to procrastination...

Even though she felt the danger of Kiana being snatched away, she could still convince herself, "It's okay, I can still take it slow."

"Do we really have to start with Lady Kiana... Alas..." Bella suddenly felt resentful.

It was not the resentment towards Sirin or Kiana, but the resentment towards myself.

She hated that she was not a 'human' but a 'Honkai Beast'. If she were a human, even if it meant she would lose her life, she would still seduce Lady Kiana in front of the Queen in order to trigger the Queen's sense of crisis!

But letting Lady Kiana develop a romantic relationship with other women to stimulate Sirin... Bella is not at all at ease. What if Lady Kiana is really seduced away?

"Um, Bella?" Xilin widened her eyes in surprise when she noticed that Bella's expression was undergoing various subtle changes.

After all, Bella has very few expressions.

"No, it's okay, Queen." Bella exhaled deeply. "I will help the Queen take down Lady Kiana."

Bella clenched her fists, and her burst of fighting spirit frightened Xilin.

"Ah...oh, um..." Xilin shrank her neck.

----

"Ah! I can't take it anymore!" Kiana just walked into the house and threw herself onto the sofa.

"Sister Kiana?" It was rare to see Kiana like this. Mei Raiden, who was sitting in the position where a new Sirin was supposed to be refreshed, widened her eyes.

"Hmm?" Kiana blinked and then straightened up. "Oh~ It's Mei..."

Kiana propped herself up and sat up.

"I'm still a little uncomfortable with the sudden appearance of another person in the house." Kiana explained with a smile, trying to restore her dignity which was shattered when her body was thrown out.

Of course, Mei Raiden already knew what kind of person Kiana was, so Kiana never had any "dignity".

"Fortunately, I didn't do anything else!" Kiana screamed in her heart.

If it were any other time, she would flutter over to harass Sirin once she had pounced on the sofa, which had become a habit of Kiana’s.

If she had just followed her instinct and acted like this... the consequences would have been disastrous.

B.87 Family Card

"Is Sister Kiana tired at work?" Raiden Mei asked curiously. "What does Sister Kiana usually do at work?"

"Hmm..." Kiana said after thinking for a moment. "In short, my more important work now is about 'Anti-Honkai Energy'."

Not everyone has strong adaptability to Honkai energy, so a series of things like 'anti-Honkai medicine' are essential.

Among them, vaccines are the most complicated and therefore require the greatest workload.

In addition to vaccines, there are medicines.

In short, because of the [Power of Death], Kiana's current job is to fabricate a standard "person" based on the data provided by the scientific researchers, and then implant an anti-Honkai Impact 3 vaccine in their body, and use the power to accelerate the operation of the vaccine, observe and record the effect of the vaccine.

That's basically the kind of work it is.

"..." After listening to Kiana's narration, Raiden Mei actually wanted to say that she didn't understand.

Although Mei Raiden is very smart, this does not mean that she has the right to speak in areas that she has never been exposed to.

Although Kiana doesn't like studying, she always has to make some sacrifices for the sake of "humanity", and Kiana's "sacrifice" is to study hard.

In terms of aerospace and new energy, Kiana doesn't need to know much. Basically, she only needs to manufacture the corresponding materials based on the data provided by the scientific researchers.

But it’s different for creatures that are resistant to Honkai, and Kiana still needs the corresponding knowledge.

"Okay, let's not talk about work anymore." Kiana didn't want to bring any unhappiness from work home.

Of course...she can be regarded as the supreme leader of destiny to some extent. No one dares to look at her badly, so she will never feel frustrated at work and then get angry when she gets home.

"Where's Sirin?" Instead of chatting with Raiden Mei about her work troubles, Kiana was more curious about why Sirin, who usually appeared on the sofa, had disappeared.

"Senior Xilin just called Miss Bella upstairs." Raiden Mei said, pointing to the second floor.

"Oh." Kiana nodded. "That's quite rare."

"Does Senior Xilin stay at home every day?" Raiden Mei asked puzzledly.

"Yeah." Kiana spread her hands helplessly. "Although I often told her to go out more often, Xilin had no intention of going out at that time."

"Wouldn't it be boring to stay at home every day?" After all, Mei Raiden was a high school student before coming to 'Saint Freya'. Besides her heavy academic workload, she also needed to practice sword skills every day. Besides that, there were also 'missions' assigned to her by Miyuki Raiden.

All in all, Mei Raiden's daily life is quite full, and she basically has no free time.

So she couldn't imagine how Xilin could stay idle at home every day.

"Isn't there a term called 'otaku' in the Far East? Sirin is like that." Kiana sighed.

Perhaps it was because even though Xilin was already thirty years old, her body remained at the stage of being thirteen or fourteen years old and had not developed much, so she was not very interested in "adult" things.

Therefore, although Xilin stays at home every day to watch TV series, games, and animations...she rarely comes into contact with obscure things.

"Oh..." Raiden Mei nodded in understanding.

Although she still couldn't understand it a little, she still respected Xilin's interests and hobbies.

"Come to think of it, Kiana-sister has known Sirin-senpai for a long time, right?" Raiden Mei, who had just talked about this topic with Sirin, was a little curious about Kiana's opinion. "Although Kiana-sister occasionally talks to me about Sirin-senpai, it's really rare."

"Really... um..." Kiana nodded her chin. "As for Xilin and I, we met in 2000, so it's been almost fourteen years now."

"I have known Sister Kiana for fourteen years." Raiden Mei said with a smile. "It seems that Sister Kiana did a lot of things in 2000."

"Indeed." Kiana smiled and nodded after recalling what she had done back then. "I did do a lot..."

The year 2000 was the most anxious time for Kiana, because she had just come into this world, so she frantically used her powers to find her own world.

But as time passed, Kiana finally gave up, because she knew that time would not stop because of one person's departure, so the ending of her world had been determined, and even if she found a way back, she could not make up for anything...

But if the plan of [Artificial End] is implemented in this world, there may still be a chance to save the world.

"Well, Sister Kiana has been with Senior Sirin for such a long time, Senior Sirin must be very important to you, right?" In fact, Mei Raiden knew very well that she was testing him when she said this.

As for why she tested Kiana, perhaps only Raiden Mei herself knows the answer.

"Of course." Kiana nodded. "Xilin is my most important family member."

Kiana attaches the most importance to her family, and the reason is very simple.

"Family..." Mei Raiden nodded in understanding. "I think Senior Xilin should feel the same way."

"That's for sure." Kiana nodded firmly. "Although Xilin is extremely arrogant, she is still very soft-hearted."

"Also, although Xilin seems to not care about many things, she cares very much about the people around her. As long as you are nice to her, she will definitely recognize you." This is Kiana's experience.

That's what this guy Xilin is like.

In fact, even if you are a passerby, as long as you see Xilin and give her a candy, even if you are just a salesman, she will give you a get-out-of-jail-free card.

Xilin has no resistance to the kindness of others.

"I see." Although Mei Raiden had already felt what kind of person Sirin was, Kiana's words this time could be said to be a summary of Sirin.

"Also, although Xilin is not very good at getting along with others, she can remember a lot of things." After spending time with her day after day, Kiana discovered that Xilin had a characteristic.

That is, you may say something unintentionally, and Xilin will think about it for a long time, and then when you have completely forgotten it, she suddenly brings what you want to you.

"It seems that Sister Kiana really likes Senior Sirin, and she can easily mention so many of Senior Sirin's advantages." Raiden Mei said with a smile. "The more you spend time together, the easier it is to ignore each other's advantages."

"Well~" Kiana shrugged. "Xilin actually has many advantages, but she is a little too lazy, so all her advantages are overshadowed by this 'laziness'."

"You're saying she's lazy again. Senior Xilin will be unhappy if she hears it."

"What's the big deal? I say it in front of Xilin every day." Kiana sighed helplessly.
